Meanwhile "Ophir farm" and its castle
have passed through equally tedious litigation.
Mr.. Holiday had decided it to his wife in
1871, with the understanding that she was to
make a will giving it to him in case of her
dying first. This gave rise to a suit, which
the surrogate decided in his favor, and lie
then mortgaged the property to the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York. Her
heirs contested the matter in the courts, but
the Insurance company won and have sold
the place to Garrett Roach, son Of the famous
shphuilder. John Roach had for time
some interest in it and was proceeding to
finish the castle when bankruptcy and death
ended the project. Now the estate is about
to change owners once more. The farm in
cludes about 700 acres, lying across the sum-
NIT between Long Island sound and the
western plains of Westchester county; and
from the windows of the castle, or mansion,
one has magnificent view of the sound ard
of many miles of slope and valley westward
The building is q rather gloomy looking
structure of dark gray granite, q square of
130 feet side, with minor wings and annexes,
the main section three stories high The
general outer aspect is rugged, but within the
house is very beautifully furnished in various
hard woods. At a convenient distance stands
the beautiful white stone chapel in which
Mrs. Holiday worshiped (she being Cath
olic), and in the vaults of which she and her
son and her two daughters lie buried Per-
haps no clearer explication of her views as to
the noble family alliances could be given than
the clause in her will which expressly ex-
cludes from any and all benefits of its pro-
visions any of her descendants who should
marry foreigner. j. II. BEADLE.

scion of one of the Oldest noble families in
france. The other married the Baron de
3ussiere, son of the wealthy banker, Bussiere,
# Paris. While in this condition Holiday
also bought the noted Ophir farm, near White
Plains, and began the erection of an
immense castle, which was to cost over
S1,000,0O0.
Then dark days came. The history Of his
losses is but imperfectly known, but as he
was deeply involved in the railroads of the
far northwest in 1878 the causes Of his losses
may easily be surmised. Family troubles
also weighed upon him. The Countess Pour
tales died suddenly while on journey, and
was buried in the chapel on "Ophir farm"
Her mother was SO affected by this death that
she soon followed, and not long after the
Baroness de Bussiere died in New York city
and was laid by her sister and mother. Young
Ben Holiday has since died and been laid to
rest with them, but not till the property had
passed to other hands. 1t is stated that of all
the great enterpriser's property none re-
manned except his claim against the govern
ment, which is still unsettled
In 1856 he first presented the claim, for
over $500, ,OO0-bis losses by reason of the de-
struction of his southern or Texas and Cali
fornia line at the beginning of the war and
sums alleged to be due him on mail transpor-
tation and other services. After much lobby
ing the committee on claims recommended O
bill to pay him s526. 739, but congress failed
to pass it. In 1880 the committee recon-
mended 1921, 154, and the senate reduced it to
800, 600, but even the bill for that amount
failed to pass. 1t has now been lo5bied for
and discussed in committee for ten years, and
no allowance made. Whether hope deferred
made his heart sick unto death we can only
conjecture.

New Congressional Library Building.

We present today cut of the new Con
gressional library building now in course of
construction at Washington, and expected to
be finished in about three years. OF the
money appropriated by congress S550.0O0
was paid for the site. which includes two
squares and the intervening street just east
of the Capitol. The plot covers two and
nine-tenths acres, and OH it will be erected
building ample for all the works the library
will contain within century. Mr.. Smith
meyer, the architect, is at the head of his
profession, and the building will be hand
some as well as ample. Around it will be q
narrow lawn with flower beds. Contracts
for the excavation, sewers and drainage
have already been let, and the work will
begin at once. The front will face the
Capitol, and in beauty will not suffer in conf
parison, though the main objects aimed at are
strength and security. The main room will be
Il central octagonal rotunda, with skylights,

will serve as a general reading room, while
from it a!coves will radiate in all directions

SO Waite has himself given the district attor-

besides this which the public has so far of his

was the testimony of the lad Bowling in the

that this youth was an errand boy in the

the whole conspiracy was hatched. Early in
the morning of the day when the franchise

of the aldermanic railroad committee which
he was instructed to deliver to Richmond
The latter was then standing in the lobby
surrounded by crowd, and when the boy
came up with the envelope Richmond was too
shrewd to take it, but showed the hand he
was playing by his angry remark to the lad

him in such place

Richmond with his companions, Sharp,

government already has an immense num-

the battle fields and forts of the revolution,

on which the government already has an inn

value, and the commission had no little
trouble in securing the title. Many owners
were not satisfied with the valuation placed
upon their land, which congress condemned"
for the purpose, and have appealed to the
